cry a requiem for sunlight

[tothegatesofhell]

Starting out strong by posting a pinned post first.

Hello! I'm Katy, I'm 29 years old, I'm unfairly obsessed with minecraft block men. If you feel like you've been here before, it's because you have and I am an idiot and managed to delete all of my blogs and so we are starting fresh and absolutely have not cried at all.

If you haven't been here before, welcome! Most people are here because of Catboys, and if you are, then Cee and I have actually started a joint blog over here where you can totally send messages that both of us can see/answer. Or if you'd rather send stuff here, that also works.

My AO3 is here, and if you're here because of any of my other stuff, I would love to hear about it. Or if you'd just like to hear what I'm working on next!

I usually use #katy talks for any posts that are just me talking, #katy writes for any writing posts, and #katy answers for all asks. Reblogs etc don't usually get tags because I'm inherently lazy.

I don't have a carrd because I'm almost thirty and similarly don't have a DNI, so just. Don't be a dick in my inbox. That's all.

Hey guys, I am running a prompt meme! Have fun.

[tothegatesofhell]

Hello, hope youre doing okay!

Sorry if the question is annoying, but is knock the ice from my bones abandoned? I would fully understand why - even if you use the dsmp c and not cc I could see how you no longer wanna write them. Just every few months I remember this exist and reread my favorite chapters

Hey!!

You're totally not annoying, I understand the question lol. Good news: it's not abandoned. Bad news: literally every time we go to open the doc something happens (real life, idiots talking, etc) that makes us close it immediately. We really want to finish it though, it's planned out. We've discussed also redoing it so it's an original work after we finish it, and then doing the sequel but I genuinely don't know!!! Life is weird!!

Can't believe Phil said we can't do daddy kink with his character anymore :(

“It is urgent that these two get to the Temple of Zutarrag in Triboar,” the monk is saying. He has a hand on the heads of two dragonborn children. “One of our order was meant to take them, but he fell ill, and the rest of us are too old to attempt the journey.” The kids are cute, Phil has to admit. One boy, with dark purple scales covering his head and wide blue eyes. He's wearing little robes, and there's a tail sticking out the back. The girl has teal scales along the sides of her face, but she isn't bald like the boy. Instead she has wildly curly hair and darker skin. Her eyes are brown and just as wide. She's dressed in the same somewhat drab robes. They both look incredibly small.

Day seven of techza week! This was so much fun to write, less fun to tag lol.

Techno's been a fighter in the arena most of his life, living in the cells below and fighting above whenever he's told to. That changes when he's given away to the man who beats him in a match.

returning to my roots with a gladiator au!

Working in a fire tower for the summer was something Techno had applied for thinking he would get away from people, maybe catch up on some reading, do some knitting, do some hiking. He was fine with not talking to people for weeks at a time.

He didn't count on Phil.

Day five!! I’m really excited about this one, I’ve been working on it for probably years at this point, trying to get it right. I hope you guys like it!

Summary:

Techno and Phil have been living on Isle Sorna for five years and married for four. Surely it's time to add some excitement into the mix, right? And maybe that excitement could come in the form of some baby velociraptors.

Summary:

Phil's arrested on a Tuesday. It was inevitable, really- the fact he's gone this long without being caught is a fucking miracle and he mostly owes it to gratuitous use of scent blockers and the fact that most people don't expect an omega to look them in the eye, much less have broad shoulders and enough muscles to pass for a scrawny alpha. Phil mostly passes himself off as a beta; alpha is looking for trouble, especially as he's gotten older. It would only take one ID check for people to realize there's something off about him.

> When Phil gets caught and unwillingly assigned to an alpha, the last thing he expects is someone he could actually like.

Summary: “So that’s it, then?” Phil says stiffly. “I’ll be sold off to the Nether warlord?” It’s too much, he knows that as soon as the words leave his lips. He’s spent too long on the borders with his men; crude and common and free with their emotions. His mother’s lips thin slightly, and his father’s brow raises.

“You will be married, as your siblings have. It’s part of your responsibility to your family, as you well know.” The rebuke is delivered in the same tone one would use to observe the weather. Phil takes a breath.

“Of course,” he says, tone level again. “I apologize for my outburst.” He keeps his wings carefully still. “When will I leave?”

“Tomorrow.” It feels like a death sentence. It may well be. Phil dips his head in a nod and turns to leave.

He needs to pack.

Or: the arranged marriage fantasy au with way too many POVs that we've been meaning to write.

And now for something both entirely expected and completely different— with the help of @tothegatesofhell and someone who would prefer not to be named, I did a rp that's now been adapted into a fic! Unfinished, but still in progress!

Summary:

The Coliseum is filled with the thick heat of too many bodies. A thin mist of blood, sweat and violence clings to its walls and the people inside. Techno can hear the crowd cajoling above him. They call for blood, they call for death, they call for him. He strains against the chains that hold him in place. They creak against his muscles, and for a moment it looks like they might actually break. Then the sharp whistle of a whip cuts through the air and right into his back. Techno grunts and rears upwards, choking himself on the iron collar that keeps him in place. Warm blood spills from the fresh cut and slowly drips downward, mingling with what's already been spilled on the floor.  The man with the whip is yelling something at Techno, and the piglin is made to kneel. He can't quite make out what's being said though. The voices in his head have eclipsed even the roaring of the crowd above them. It's only when a cool hand touches his face and tilts it upwards that Techno notices the new person that's entered the room. He looks up and everything goes quiet. Techno's never believed in angels before.

Note from Submitter: Techno is a rescued gladiator with no memory. Phil is the only person who's shown him kindness and trust. They are in LOVE [gross sobbing noises]— this is a beautiful depiction of the growth of healing and a relationship and the first emduo /r fic I read and I hold it SO GENTLY.

[tothegatesofhell]

Yoooooo my fic!

[anxioussgecko]

anyone got some spare fluffy techza headcanons?

[tothegatesofhell]

Everyone thinks Techno is the big spoon because he's the biggest. But it's actually Phil, because he can wrap them up in his wings. (they have to adjust after they get blown up in dsmp)

Sometimes they have to spend time apart, but neither of them mind. They know in the end they'll be together again.

Techno claims his favorite days are the ones where he's fighting the corrupt governments, but it's actually the slow days where he wakes up with Phil and they lay in bed for an hour or so before getting up and eating breakfast and then cuddle in front of the fire.

They aren't legally married, but they've said vows to each other, and that's what counts to them.

Sometimes Techno will come up behind Phil and lean on him and Phil will yell and complain about how heavy he is but he secretly loves it. Even when Techno just leans heavier and sends them both into a snowdrift.

do you think when techno said "for you, the world, phil" he knew he was putting every gay loser watching in an early grave

Linda's are the black steel of a government worker: if it wasn't for the relentless monotony of her job, Phil would prefer them on aesthetic alone.

"But he’s always liked a bit of risk and it makes his heart beat a little faster when Techno’s hand goes to his waist, drawing them closer."
